Canada Day is around the corner and if you’re preparing to celebrate our fine country’s birthday with a big bash of your own, we’ve got you covered in the decorating department. Sure, red and white will rule the day but these unique decor ideas will guarantee that your party is as pretty as it is patriotic.

It’s not a party until your guests have been invited! Skip the quick text or Facebook message and instead, send out a paper invitation in the mail. This invitation is an instant digital download so all you need to do is enter in all your party details, print and mail!

If you think wreaths are just reserved for holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving, we urge you to think again! Put your Canada love on display with your own homemade wreath that shows off everything you love most about the True North Strong and Free.

If you prefer something with a more modern look for your front door, this wreath might be more your speed. This easy DIY is made with an embroidery hoop and painted balsa wood maple leaf cut outs. This wreath is classic and elegant and you’ll love pulling it out year after year.

Mylar balloons add an instantly fun and festive feel to any occasion. Buy letters to spell out "Oh Canada" or "Happy Canada Day" or just a classic Canadian "Eh" to add the perfect party look to your celebration.

Prefer something a little simpler? These Canadian flag balloons are also mylar and will add a patriotic note to your Canada Day party. The balloons are shipped deflated but can be taken to a local party store to be inflated.

This sweet but simple red and white maple leaf garland is the perfect addition to your Canada Day décor. Hang it along a wall, across a door frame or use it to accent your tabletop, whether on top or by draping it just below the lip of the table. And if you’re feeling inspired, you might be able to make this yourself!

Sending guests home with a little parting gift? Dress it up with this adorable moose favour tag! The tags are 2” x 3.25” and are a digital download which will be emailed to you in a PDF. Ten tags fit on one page, so you’ll just need to print and cut to size.

Adorn your Canada Day table with Canadiana confetti! It’s made with red, white and gold card stock and comes in shapes including maple leafs, moose and beavers, as well as the words "sorry" and "beer." So cute, eh?

Food is a big part of any party and these beaver tails hit just the right note for a Canada Day celebration. They’re quintessentially Canadian and they’re beautiful! Plus, Greenhouse Juice's version is vegan and gluten-free, making them feel like guilt-less indulgences.
